Sign UO Applicants
Oregon men are definitely interested in deferment pro
offered by the army, navy, and marine corps, if the re
sponse to the visit of the joint procurement board, which con
cluded its three-dav stay Thursday, is to be taken as a criterion.
Members of the board interviewed 688 students. Of this
number. 473 took application forms to fill ont before the re
turn cf the medical board next
Thursday, November 5.
Navy Interviews Lead
Navy's combined V-l, V-7
proved of the most interest, with
220 interviews, and 162 applica
tions. Next in line was the army
air corps with 155 interviews and
74 applications. Third on the list
was navy’s V-5 with 110 men
“talking flying,” and 87 “planning
flying.”
Close on the heels of the naval
air corps was the marine corps..
The “Devil-Dogs” attracted an
even 100 prospects, 75 of whom
took away application forms.
ERC Draws 75
'^ast in line was the enlisted
reserve corps with 90 interviews
and 75 applications.
A recapitulation of the men
previously enlisted in the reserve
classes shows that advanced
ROTC leads with 161 men, tying
for second are the enlisted re
serve corps and navy’s V-l with
125 each.
Navy 75—Army 66
In the fourth spot is navy V-7
with 75, close in the midship
men's wake is the army air corps
with 66, and the marines act as
rear guard with 50. These figures

nalism honorary and co-sponsor

*The "Shack Shuffle” will feat
ure the rural murals of Sopho

still bring their friends.
Russell MC'
Non-journalistic Earle Russell

the Hoppes and Mundt comedy
team promises fun for faculty,

practice, or early childhood train
ing, you’re in. Music and dancing
will be followed by cider and
doughnuts. SDX and Theta Sig
are bringing this event to the
campus in an endeavor to get ev
eryone in the journalism school
acquainted with everyone else.
Music will be by seme of the
country’s hottest bands and the

Squad Slates
Rally Dance

house at Gerlinger hall this Sat
urday for all students wishing to
hear the broadcast of the football
game between the University of
Oregon Ducks and the California
Bears. The broadcast will come
from Berkeley via KOIN in Port

time an informal dance will be
held in the gymnasium of Ger
linger hall. This dance is free and
open to all University students.
It is a no-date affair,

this broadcast-dance in order to
provide a place for those stu
dents not able to attend the game
to join in the spirit of the game
itself,” declared Clint Paine, ral
ly committee chairman. In charge
of the dance for the rally squad
are Donald Stephens and Brimina
Vrang.
Kossack Clarifies
Reserve Requisites
A portion of Oregon's male
citizenry has been rather dis
turbed lately by the grade,
hours, requirement set up by
Dr. Carl F. Kossack, armed
forces representative on the
campus.
To clarify the situation, Dr.
Kossack made the following
statement: “Men who were reg
istered in less than the mini
mum hours required for reten
tion in the reserve classes at
the time of my announcement,
need not worry about their de
ferment being cancelled. They
will be retained provided they
take the full load next term.
Others should check through
my office before dropping
courses which would bring
their load below the prescribed
minimum.”
Dear Jawn:
If things look bad at the Home
coming game,
And we should start to lose,
Dispense with the varsity football
team
And send in the Sigma Nus.
